Chapter 66: Two Worlds
After the twenty-second hour of the day, the sun's rays were shining white on the platform of 'Ross-Lee Cantilever' 0A-4.
The 'Uroboros' stargate is particularly huge when looking up, its diameter is 1,424.7 meters, like a slowly rotating giant ring, refracting dazzling white light on the surface under the daytime sunlight, reflecting the dark and deep cosmic background.
Due to the dimensional effect, the inside of the stargate is like a huge pattern that is constantly changing, and it is like a piece of paper that is crumpled and unfolded, it has no thickness, but it has a three-dimensional structure. It rotates forever, but all of them show only the silhouette of one side, sometimes grayish, sometimes with different hues.
Tang Sheng was raising his head, his gaze falling on this huge space project through the oxygen mask.
The military staff turned around, and his polite voice came from the communicator: "Mr. Tang, don't be too nervous when you pass through the star gate later, just stay relaxed." After adaptive training, you and your wife's Starlight Harmony ability is excellent, and it shouldn't be a big problem. ”
As he spoke, he handed out two small objects to the two of them, a crystal, glowing amber in the pure sunlight, and there seemed to be some luminous substance inside, shining brightly.
"This is a sightseeing-level starlight substance, although I have known about it beforehand, I still have to ask again, the two of you have no experience with the Electors before, right?"
Tang Sheng checked the crystal before pressing it on a groove on the chest of the spacesuit, which was neither big nor small, and it was tightly sealed.
"I've been working in writing before," he replied calmly, "and it has nothing to do with the profession of the Elector." ”
"That's good, trouble the two of you." The staff nodded.
The group stopped at the entrance to Passage 27.
The entrance gate to the passage is painted diagonally with a yellow and black engineering warning sign.
One line in English and one line in Chinese write the word 'emergency' on the gate. The officer pressed his hand on the verifier at the entrance, and the next moment, the door staggered backwards, making a dull exhaust sound.
It slowly opens up and down, with a total of three floors from the inside to the outside.
In the swirling red light, a white mist rose from the room—
The staff explained: "Don't worry, it's a process of decompression disinfection...... While there is theoretically no physical form of crossing through the stargate, you know, it's all on the safe side. ”
Everyone walked through the white mist.
The door on the other side is slowly opening.
Ahead was a steel bridge exposed to a vacuum, hanging between the stargate and the passage—and through the faint light marks on the oxygen mask, Tang Sheng looked left and right, and there were hundreds of identical bridges there, like a white forest, traversing space.
Streamers of light weave in front of the stargate, a stream of information that weaves between the two worlds - the Elector itself, and next, they will also transform into the same form and enter the unknown world behind the door.
"...... little plover right here?"
Mrs. Tang looked a little nervous and couldn't help but ask.
And Tang Sheng turned around, held his wife's hand, and signaled that she didn't have to worry.
The officer walked in front, and then turned to the two of them and demonstrated: "Next I will be the first to pass through the star gate, you follow me closely, just go forward as normal." The coordinates are preset on the glow, and we will head to the northern continent of Aitalia, Kapka in Talen, because according to the investigation, that is where Mr. Fang Yuan first appeared—"
Tang Sheng only nodded.
……
Zhang Tianmu was checking the crystal in his hand.
He looked up again at the huge hall of the inn, with crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, the largest inn in Kapuka, the Witch's Tree Dwelling. Because the hostel grows on top of a towering ancient tree, a total of three floors high, and the crystal in the center of the lobby of the inn is perfectly integrated with the body of the tree.
His assistant was hurrying from outside and whispered to him, "They've arrived." ”
Zhang Tianyu glanced back when he heard this, and saw a lot of black trench coats walking in outside the gate, but he didn't see the main owner he had been waiting for for a long time, so he only nodded.
The assistant was about to speak on the side, and finally couldn't help but say: "Team Zhang, Xingmen Port has urged you to go to Sidewind Harbor many times to restore your life...... It looks like it's going to let you go to the south......"
"What about this side?"
Zhang Tianmu asked.
Only then did he wave his hand: "I understand what you said, but you have to let me arrange the work here, I don't like to do things without a beginning or an end." ”
The assistant opened his mouth, but did not speak again.
Zhang Tianmu turned around alone and looked at the huge crystal prism standing in the center of the hall behind him.
There are many magical local legends about this crystal, which grew with the giant tree long before the inn was built. Locals call it the Witch's Heart, believing that touching the crystal will bring good luck.
But it's actually a guest book, which the inn has transformed into a magic guide on which guests can write their wishes and wishes. For a long time, it was one of the mecca destinations for Kapka travelers.
The earliest clues to the target were found on this crystal.
He pressed his hand to the crystal.
Rows of words immediately appeared on the crystal:
'Blessing of the Witch's Heart—'
'Write a blessing on the crystal and the sacred crystal will bring you good luck. ’
Here's an example:
'Words of the Emerald Wind, may the light of the stars and the moon spread throughout the journey——(Elves of Evan Quinn often use words of blessings, if travelers can't think of any words of blessings, they can delete the content in parentheses and copy this article)'
When he looked down, there were messages:
'Make a wish for a cursed spear. —Silver Meteor, 1477, 11, 2.
'I heard that there was a special spirit, and I wished for the bow of Urel. —Alder, 1477, 12, 7.
'Bless Miss Tia for accepting my proposal. —Alister, 1448, 1, 5.
'Vow, Halberd of Hydra, (1/1). —Cursed Aura, 1448, 2, 9.
'Words of the emerald wind, may the light of the stars and the moon spread throughout the journey. —Phoenix Fire, 1448, 3, 11.
Zhang Tianmu's gaze went all the way down, jumping directly to a piece of information half a year ago:
'Take a bite of poisoned milk, and the mission fails. —Scarpain, 1449, 5, 14.
'Words of the emerald wind, may the light of the stars and the moon spread throughout the journey.' —Ed, 1449, 5, 14.
His gaze fixed on the two messages, and then narrowed his eyes slightly.
……
"Sugar Candy!"
Friends and friends were screaming, startling Tang Xin. She took a breath and raised her head, rolling her eyes: "My dear little princess, what are you doing again?" Can you not be so shocked, people are scary and scared to death, don't you know? ”
The cute girl smiled: "Isn't this happy?" She closed the book in front of Tang Xin, pressed her hands on the title page, approached the latter and asked, "Tangtang, did you say last time that your parents left you to travel alone." ”
"yes," Tang Xin squinted, like a dangerous feline. "They did go on a 'tour' to see the pigeons."
"Look at the pigeons?"
"Well, the big one."
The girl was a little confused, but still asked, "That sugar candy, it's winter vacation soon, do you have any plans?" ”
"Alone."
"Wow, it's so pitiful, my uncle and aunt are too ruthless." She sighed exaggeratedly.
"Speak human words." Tang Xin glanced at her friend, this girl was so big-minded that she couldn't hide her words at all.
"Our family is going to travel during the winter vacation, or you can join us, anyway, there is no more person."
Tang Xin patted her round little face: "Little princess, your family is really rich, but you go on a trip, what am I going to do?" ”
"You're my good friend, and you're not an outsider," the girl pouted, "Besides, my parents know you, and this time we got the tickets for four people, so it's a pity to waste a place." ”
"Places?"
Tang Xin raised her head: "Don't tell me that you plan to go to that place." ”
"That's right," the girl said a little proudly, word by word, "yes-ai-ta-li-ya!" ”
"You're chasing stars a little too much," Tang Xin had a black line: "Dear little princess." ”
"It's not necessarily chasing stars, my final exam results this time are not bad, my dad promised me," she shook Tang Xin's hand vigorously: "Sugar candy, sugar candy, is it okay to be with me, you know Aitalia so well, you can't leave me alone." ”
"It turned out that they were using me as a hard laborer, you go away," Tang Xin replied angrily, and what made her most angry was that the star that the other party was chasing was still the big pigeon that gave her a headache. But she thought for a moment and raised her head again: "...... Okay, but you remember to thank my aunt and uncle on my behalf. ”
The girl's eyes lit up, and she screamed and hugged her, almost not jumping up.
"I love you to death, Sugar Candy!"
……
Ander Uriel.
Fang Yu had actually heard of this name, but it was not as an assistant to Sylvide's maternal grandfather, but another layer of identity for the other party, which was even more famous - the former president of the Southern Alchemist Alliance.
The era when he served as the president of the Southern Alchemist Alliance was the most prosperous era of the Southern Alchemist Alliance, and that was about twenty years ago. At that time, André-Uriel was not only the president of the Alliance, but also one of the leading craftsmen of the Rose Workshop.
Ander-Uriel studied in the area of Rodale as a young man and is considered the successor of the Kapka school. Seriously counted, he can be regarded as his old-timer, because Fang Yu himself is also a student of the Orthodox Kapka School.
This man specialized in flexible construction techniques and made a name for himself at an early age, making a name for himself in the Taron generation by the time he was in his twenties. He then held important positions in the Iron Candle Bay and the Elpahim Artisan Guild, and at the age of forty he became famous and received the title of Master Craftsman.
Later, he returned to his hometown and led the Alchemist Alliance, and only in his later years did he choose to live in seclusion. After that, the famous alchemist disappeared and was never seen again.
It's just that Fang Yu didn't expect that the other party was not only still alive, but also had such a relationship with Sylvide.
Thinking that Sylvade was going to take him to meet such a legendary alchemist, Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, after all, the other party should be the highest-ranking alchemist he had ever seen in Aitalia.
If the president of the Artisan Guild who has a relationship with Elpahim does not count, the dwarf Rogerta-
But seriously, he and the dwarven leader had only a few words of conversation at best, far from a meeting.
The extent of Ander-Uriel's fame is that he had heard of it when he was a student in Kapka, one of the most outstanding craftsmen of the past thirty years, and there are only two or three people who can compare it to him in the past hundred years.
And all of these people were some of the most famous alchemists in the history of Kaulin-Ishurian.
If it weren't for Sylvid grabbing his hand, Fang Yu would even want to regret it a little, the other party should be regarded as the elder of his ship's family, if you ask what is his level as a captain?
How should he answer?
Just out of the newbie stage?
He thought to himself that he might as well kill him, and the other party might unceremoniously drive them away, which would be too embarrassing.
But Sylvid didn't mind at all. Probably seeing his worries, the noble daughter smiled slightly and said: "Grandpa Ande is very kind, what are you so afraid of doing, he won't eat people." Besides, you always have to prove yourself in front of this generation of Count Cillin-Sbicca, but what will you do in the future? ”
"How can I be afraid......
"Then what are you doing so hard back, Captain."
"I, I, I'm just not used to people grabbing my hands......"
Later, Luo Yu and the box rolled their eyes when they heard this.
Sylvid couldn't help but laugh, but she didn't puke it either.
The legendary alchemist, who lived on the other side of the city through Dulun, near the outskirts of the forest, lived alone in a mountain villa. Although the area of Dulun City is not as large as that of Golland, it is not small, but fortunately, in such cities in this era, there are always many trams powered by magic.
The four of them plus a fairy lady took a magic train through Dulun and went out of the city, and after leaving the city, they walked for nearly an hour before they gradually approached that place.
It was actually a small town, surrounded by snow-capped mountains near the northern part of the Cave Mountains, surrounded by snow-capped mountains in the distance.
The group had not long walked along the trail before they saw an independent manor house halfway up the mountain, surrounded by a snow-covered pine forest.
When they got closer, they realized that they weren't the only ones who seemed to be here today.
It was a black carriage that had stopped outside the manor gates, leaving only two deep rutted marks in the snow, apparently having only arrived short. And there was a family crest on the carriage, and Fang Yu didn't recognize what it was after recognizing it for a long time, so he couldn't help but look back at the nobleman's daughter.
Sylvid shook her head rarely, and whispered to them that this badge might not be a nobleman on Kaulin's side.
"It's a common ornament for the gnomes on Isharian's side," said Miss Tata at this point, "and the patterns on it are all set in size, and the person who comes here should be a dwarf, and his status is not low." ”
Midget?
Everyone was slightly stunned.
Few people know that the former president of the Kaurin-Ishurian Southern Alchemist Alliance, And-Uriel is seventy-three years old this year-
In Aitalia, the starlight slowly passes with age, coupled with the backwardness of medical methods, mortals at this age, no matter how famous you were in your lifetime, are basically in the last stage of your life.
But if you look at it from the outside, this legendary alchemist gives people a first impression of anything else, and even a mentally armed man in his early fifties and sixties, who looks like he talks and laughs freely.
Ander Uriel was sitting on the couch at the moment, leaning over, listening to his old friend tell some interesting things that happened outside, and from time to time he let out a hearty laugh.
Not far away, the fireplace burned with ash charcoal, and the faint flames reflected the dim light of the house.
André Uriel lit his pipe, took a puff, and patted the armrest of the couch, clearly aware of his intentions. After he finished laughing, he shook his head: "Old man, I'm not like you, I'm old, and the affairs of the Alchemist Alliance have nothing to do with me for a long time, it's all about the young people." ”
Sitting on the sofa across from him was an old dwarf, who frowned and fanned only with his hand: "Old smoking gun, the southern border is about to be in chaos, you really don't care?" ”
"My old boss's granddaughter is still missing, how can I be in the mood to care about this?" André-Uriel laughed: "Don't think I don't know, old man, you're not the same kind of person as the party, so why bother to help them clean up the mess." ”
He waved his pipe: "Let's let His Majesty the King worry, isn't there still the Prime Minister?" Well, I'm happy to accompany you today, but if you want to say anything else, I'm going to give you an eviction order. ”
Fareth-Copperwan coughed heavily: "Can you stop smoking yet, I can't stand the smell of smoke - ahem, you still have this stinky temper, if it weren't for the interests of the Kaulin-Ishurian craftsmen, you think I'd come?" You humans, one by one, are in trouble, asking for trouble. ”
André-Uriel laughed, but extinguished his pipe.
And it was at this time that a little dwarf hurried back from outside, and talked to the two of them with a word of chatter.
It is said that the gnomes have dwarf blood, but the dwarf clan has always looked down on these stinky kinds, and Falaise Copperwan looked at the little thing with a frown and asked, "What did it say?" But André-Uriel had slammed himself up from the couch and asked aloud, "Are you telling the truth!?" ”
The little goblin's eyes widened and he nodded vigorously.
"All the saints are above," the old man sighed, and he said to the patriarch of the Tongwan family on the side, "If you don't accompany you, I'll come when I go." ”
Before he finished speaking, he hurried out.
Only the old gnomes and gnomes were left staring wide-eyed in the room. "You stinking." Falaise Copperwan looked at the latter with a frown: "It's better to stay away from me, before I have time to get angry." ”
